Frederica Hall is inspired by the uncanny in nature and myth, creating paintings and other works of art that celebrate forms of otherworldly beauty. Her subject matter ranges from psychedelic introspection to views from outer space.

Speaking of outer space, I absolutely love Frederica’s series of Outer and Inner Spacepaintings. Many of these paintings are detailed oil paint renderings of nebulae and distant galaxies that have been captured in telescope photographs. In some works, Frederica takes a measure of artistic license to emphasize visions of humanlike figures and spiritual scenes that create a subtle sense of mythic narrative around a natural phenomenon. Federica’s flowing, well-blended painting style lends itself well to these clouds of light and color in vacuum space. It’s also present in her other, more figure-focused works, and tends to help create a dreamlike aura around people and animals.

Some time ago about 10 to 20,000 years, myths tell of the passing of Egyptian Gods that breathed earth's air, danced and sang on Terra firma. Science has found the Vail super novae, estimating its explosion at about 10 to 20,000 years ago A super novae in the heart of Cygness the swan, the Egyptians' gate way into the otherworld for their ships passage to sail the great seas beyone death.Coincident , Morphic resonance ?I see in the vail nebula, at the Bow of the great Egyptian mythic ship,

gazing out into the great unknown the figure heads of Isis and Osiris.

This work is an ongoing artistic inquiry into the web of inter-species communication,expressed through my paintings,I offer a connection to some of the 1,000s of disappearing sentient beings.As we lose each species we lose a part of our selves in the interconnected web of consciousness.All of nature is a single organism, everything is connected, "quantum physicists have found that the boundaries that isolate one thing from another exist only at the most obvious and superficial level; at deeper levels all things-atoms molecules, plants animals, people participate in a sensitive, dynamic web of information" Rupert Sheldrake Ph.D..Literally hundreds of species are going extinct every day, at this moment science estimates the present rate of extinction is up to 140,000 species per year and this number is growing every hour.This time the extinction is not by caused by a comet but by our human impact on the environment since the industrial revolution.

Of interest One of the paintings I have painted iS of Michael the Silverback Gorilla, Michael was saved from poachers as a baby and raised with the young adult female gorilla Koko at the Gorilla Foundation, Koko was trained in sign Language and taught the young Michael how to use sign Language , so that Michael grew up being able to communicate with humans Sadly Michael died prematurely as a young adult but before he died he was able to sign his painful traumatic memories of the horrendous Killing of his mom and his brutal capture, one more thing I would like to share about Michael is that he loved to paint.

The paintings so far are;

Scientist can decipher Nebulae as innumerable particles of dust, hydrogen and helium gas, and plasma, collapsing and clumping together due to mysterious gravitational attraction into vast clouds light years across time and space, Appearing like fantastical worlds and beings .

Knowing that the seeming insignificant dung beetle uses the Milky Way for orientation and navigation. Then perchance, Nebulae are gravitational clouds held together by an extraterrestrial orphic intelligence. That is so alien to human understanding, we simply do not see them in plane sight.

From this perspective the question arises ' what is intelligence and does it have parametric limits?'
